The unit is currently under contract, contingent upon Town Council approval. The extended closing date allows for an existing lease to terminate prior to any Town purchase. If the Town Council chooses to authorize the purchase, the Town may choose to purchase the unit and resell it at a reduced price with a deed restriction or the Town may choose to maintain it as a Town -owned rental unit. The Town, as an employer, benefits from having an available supply of rental units. For example, if the Town used the fee in lieu amount of $134.65 per square foot ($134.65 x 600 sq ft = $80,790) to buy this unit down, the deed restricted sale price would be $119,210. The current Town employee rental rate for comparable one - bedroom units is $932 per month. If the Town were to amortize the $200,000 purchase price over 30 -years at 1.5%, monthly principal and interest would cost $690.24. THE UNIT 2059 Chamonix Lane Unit No. 7 is a 600 square foot one -bedroom unit. The unit is very clean and immediately ready for occupancy. It does have dated finishes. John King, the Town's Facilities Manager, has completed an inspection of the unit as well as the common boiler and water heater and found the unit to be in good condition. The unit also includes one assigned and one unassigned parking space, ample on-site storage and on-site laundry facilities. Upon closing, the Town would assume the monthly HOA dues of $200 that include heat, water and sewer, snow and trash removal, building insurance, on-site property management, etc. 1/6/2015 V.

It was noted that Resolution No. 35 pertained to the West Vail Fire Station for the Frontage Road parking & utility easement. There was clarification about Resolution No. 36 that indicated a ski season approval from CDOT to use the Frontage Roads and an amendment to the lease would be presented at a later date for approval to extend the term for three years. Moffet moved to approve the remaining items on the consent agenda; Bugby seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously (7-0). There were no public comments. The third item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report at which time he recognized public works staff for their outstanding work with the design and installation of the holiday lighting decorations; he noted there has been a great deal of positive public comment about the tree lights as well. The fourth item on the agenda was an update on the Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan and South Frontage Road Traffic Improvements with a presentation by George Ruther, Director of Community Development, along with some additional comments from Doris Kirchner, VVMC. This report covered the following topics: • Background of the redevelopment of the site • Current status of the Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan • Revised schedule of review of the VVMC Master Plan It was noted that there would be some delays due to potential land exchanges in that neighborhood so final PEC decision would not occur until their meeting in January 2015. The town may also become part of the negotiations with ownership of Lot 10 in that area. Ruther explained it was thought the master plan would be adopted first and then construction to begin. However, there was a request to amend the process that the master plan update be processed while the conditional use permit is being reviewed, all of this being done concurrently. • Current status of the South Frontage Road Traffic Improvements Ruther presented a review of the proposed changes with several diagrams depicting options and indicated neighborhood meetings are taking place to discuss the South Frontage Road changes, with a proposal for a full size roundabout mostly located in CDOT right-of-way close to the west entrance into town municipal buildings and similar in size to the West Vail roundabout. It was noted several options have been considered. Several council comments were made related to 1) request to review the proposal in more detail, 2) who are the funding partners on the improvements, and 3) what do traffic counts indicate is needed. Doris Kirchner, CEO, VVMC — thanked town staff working on the project and addressed several business points about the importance of sequencing the master planning and conditional use permitting processes for the project in order to begin construction spring 2015, the need to take time with the land swap negotiations and the need to be able to continue hospital operations along side construction. • Next Steps And finally Ruther reiterated the process continues with next steps as outlined in the packet memo requesting the process runs concurrently and not consecutively as follows: ✓ Continue to discuss and negotiate a possible land exchange for the betterment of all parties involved (due to an existing use restriction with a reverter clause on the VVMC property discussions with Vail Resorts being required) ✓ Continue to refine and develop the design options for the South Frontage Road for further study and consideration ✓ Initiate a public review process to gain feedback and input from the public on the possible options and solutions for the South Frontage Road traffic improvements Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 2, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 2 ✓ Develop a strategy for implementation of the improvements (i.e., sequencing of construction, cost allocation, funding, CDOT review and approval, trigger points for implementation, etc.) ✓ Continue to pursue the adoption of the VVMC MP (the next public hearing of the PEC is set for January 12, 2015) ✓ Initiate the review process for the west wing expansion conditional use permit ✓ Amend the Vail Land Use Plan, Vail Transportation Master Plan, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and adopt the VVMC Master Plan The Town Council was not expected to take any action on this item; however council and public input were heard at this time. Daly's concerns included: parking, loading and delivery, moving traffic from Meadow Drive and the ramifications of the helipad, as well he noted there needs to be further review of the details for the redevelopment. Mike Cacioppo commented on the land exchange component and shared his concern that the project is moving too quickly and the project seems to be somewhat piecemeal in its approach. Ruther noted the topic would be scheduled for the December 16" council meeting in order to obtain final input on the question to process the master plan and the conditional use permit (for the west wing) reviews concurrently. The sixth item on the agenda was Commission on Special Events Funding Recommendations presented by Barry Davis, Commission on Special Events Chairman. The CSE requested Town Council's approval of the 2015 Special Event funding and Tier IV Category: Life Long Learning allocations, as presented in the packet memo. He noted the CSE funding process for 2015 continued to be based upon the more structured, rigorous and objective strategies developed over the last two years. Hard decisions were again made for both CSE funded events as well as the Tier IV Life Long Learning category, utilizing refined criteria and supported by measurement tools, as well as eliminating funding for under -performing events. He noted the CSE believes this is a strong calendar of events that will continue to drive increased results. This information was depicted in his presentation and with an emphasis the CSE's intent is to remain aligned with the Town Council's objectives as well. There was some discussion about the following: ✓ whether or not to use a third party vendor for the analytics and where the funding should come from to pay for such services: CSE funds or genera fund ✓ a further review of the film festival would occur in light of its not performing as well as it should ✓ request to further review the Tier IV level with some refinement to the criteria used in evaluation the programs and the funding level allotted it ✓ review of Memorial Day programming and the decision to not fund Feast; CSE would continue to evaluate what event might work during that time of year ✓ request to try to program more events in Lionshead since it seems Vail Village gets the majority of events; it was noted the CSE will continue to work with the Lionshead merchants association in this regard Moffet moved to approve CSE funding recommendations for 2015 budget; Rogers seconded the motion. Public input was welcomed at this time; there were no comments. The motion passed unanimously (7-0). The fifth item on the agenda was the appointment of four people to fill vacancies on the Commission on Special Events. Council interviewed eleven interested applicants at the work session earlier in the day. Four people were appointed to the Commission on Special Events to Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 2, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 3 two year terms each, from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016, with election results final and a motion made by Bugby to appoint Barry Davis, Mark Gordon, Marco Valenti and Alison Wadey. Kurz seconded the motion and it passed unanimously (7-0). The seventh item on the agenda was first reading of Ordinance No. 20, Series 2014, an Ordinance making budget adjustments to the Town of Vail General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Dispatch Services Fund, Heavy Equipment Fund and Timber Ridge Enterprise Fund, as the town's third budget supplemental appropriation this year. Stan Zemler, Town Manager, summarized the financial activity reflected in this ordinance and noted total adjustments to the General Fund result in net increase of $1,227,000 in additional revenue, with the resulting fund balance projected at $16.7 million at the end of 2014. Highlights included: General Fund budgeted revenue has been increased by a total of $1,466,171. This includes adjustments to revenue relating to reimbursements directly offset by corresponding expenditures: $58,171 reimbursement for deployment to four separate wildfires will cover the town's personnel costs for those incidents; $15,000 of contributions raised from the Friends of the Library will be used toward the purchase of equipment for the Vail Town Library such as laptops, ipads and a storage container with plans to increase use of the lower level classroom; in addition those funds will be used for the Friends of the Library annual fundraising effort. $3,000 of state grant funding will offset children's library materials purchased during the year. The remaining $1,390,000 increase to revenue will come from construction permits ($1.0 million), plan check fees ($290,000) and RETT collection fees ($100,000) based on actual collections so far this year. Overall expenditure increase of $239,171 is requested, with $76,171 relating to the reimbursements mentioned above. Other expenditure adjustments include $47,000 of plan check services provided by Safebuilt, reimbursed with the above increase in plan check revenue. Staff is requesting $35,000 of overtime expense for bus service due to a staffing shortage in January -April of this year. The Fire department staffing challenges that were discussed during the 2015 budget process along with an unexpected sick leave and departure of the Chief have resulted in a request for additional personnel budget dollars. Specifically, staff estimates that the Fire department will need $10,000 in salary expense, $27,000 in overtime and $44,000 in seasonal salary expense. The staffing shortage has been backfilled by both full time fire employees as well as seasonal/part-time fire residents. Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 20; Kurz seconded the motion. There were some questions about the fiberoptic upgrades and the Lionshead skateboard costs with a request to provide more detail for the $75K expenditure. There were no additional public comments. The motion passed unanimously (7-0). The eighth item on the agenda was second reading of Ordinance No. 19, Series 2014, an Ordinance providing for the levy assessment and collection of town property taxes due for the 2014 tax year and payable in the 2015 fiscal year. Stan Zemler, Town Manager, presented the ordinance which authorizes the collection of property taxes in 2014 based upon 2013 assessed valuations of property within the town's boundaries. It was noted Eagle County is responsible for assessing values and for collecting property taxes on our behalf and the town is required by Colorado state law to certify the mil levy by December 15 of each year. He noted the numbers Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 2, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 4 are based on preliminary assessed valuations from the county (as of August, 2014) with the town's base mil levy at 4.69 mils and the abatement levy at .045 mils. Abatement results when a taxpayer protests an assessed valuation after the normal protest period and is refunded a portion of the tax already due or paid. The abatement mil levy allows the town to recoup the refunded amount. This abatement levy of .045 mils equates to an additional $3.13 per year for a $1 million home. The property tax authorized by the attached ordinance will generate $4.1 million in revenue in 2014, representing approximately 7% of the town's total revenue. Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 19, Series of 2014, on second reading; Rogers seconded the motion. The motion passed with a majority vote (6-1) with Daly's opposition to the ordinance because of the inclusion of the abatement language. There was no further public input on the agenda item. The ninth item on the agenda was adjournment. There being no further business to come before the council, Moffet moved to adjourn the meeting and Kurz seconded the motion which passed unanimously, (7-0) and the meeting adjourned 7:35 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Attest: Andy Daly, Mayor Patty McKenny, Town Clerk Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 2, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 5 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, December 16, 2014 6:00 P.M.

In addition, a 3D model of the project with and without noise walls was presented. The brief update addressed progress on the following items: ✓ There has been a 30% level of completion of the preliminary design and environmental assessment. ✓ Notifications have gone out to the noise wall Benefiting Receptors to confirm contact information and determine if there are tenants within any units and informed them of the preference survey scheduled for January. ✓ The project Open House has been noticed and advertised for December 18, from 4pm-6pm at the Grand View. ✓ Edward Kraemer & Sons has completed a preliminary design level Opinion of Probable Cost of Construction (OPCC). ✓ Construction phasing options have been developed. ✓ The Structural Selection report has been completed and is under review. ✓ Preliminary utility meetings have been completed regarding the relocation of existing utilities. Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 2 ✓ A tree inventory and arborist report for impacted trees is in process. ✓ Environmental Assessment. ✓ Project cost update summary was presented outlining costs for TOV & CDOT, see table below: ✓ Noise report and summary have been completed and posted to the project website with a preview of the noise levels and the 3D model of the preliminary design. ✓ The survey process was highlighted noting that a decision on noise mitigation would be based on survey results with a simple majority that determines the direction of whether to construct the 3,400 foot long wall. The distribution of survey ballots was provided. Kassmel noted on January 6 the Town Council would be asked to decide whether to fund the wall and which type of materials it would include, concrete or acrylic, with acrylic costs estimated at $800K more. It was noted maintenance costs would need to be included in future town budgets. There were several slides of walls showing both materials and demonstrations of differing highway noise with reductions heard as a result of the use of sound walls. And finally there was a 3D software model comparison showing the area with and without sound walls. Daly asked for public input at this time and many residents spoke: 1. Bob Llewellyn, resident of Savoy Villas, commented on the following: a) concerned about high cost overruns, b) requested a review of not doing the project to use funds for other projects, c) if the wall is done, it should reflect aesthetics of a world class resort, d) requested Council be transparent about how they vote, 2. Jonas Staller, Savoy Villas, spoke about concerns noting the aesthetics of such a wall would be so important. He didn't support the concrete wall and expressed concern about costs and maintenance of an acrylic wall. 3. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, expressed confusion about the survey, who is to vote and who is required to pay for the wall. He also asked the town to consider evaluating the costs of not doing the project and to solicit input from the broader Vail community about whether they want this project. Simba Run residents who commented included: 4. Mr. Roznick was concerned the wall is not worth the value of reducing the impacts of the sound so he was against the sound wall. He spoke about a survey completed with a decibel software application that was shared with town council. 5. Jill Kolsbotch spoke out against the wall and preferred preserving the visual impact versus the sound impacts. 6. Graham Lithco spoke about the many issues surrounding the sound wall and was generally not supportive of using it. He noted the great benefit they have already found with the installation of noise abatement windows. 7. Charlie Calcaterra commended the town council and staff for their work on the project and also expressed concerns about a) how the project isn't really serving the public on a consistent and regular basis, b) the maintenance costs of the sound wall, c) the need to determine if there is community support to fund the project at the new level, d) if the survey Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 3 May -13 Dec -14 RAMP app OPCC#1 TOV Total Match $6.0 M $8.4 M CDOT RAMP Match $14.6 M $20.4 M CDOT PEL Match $ .2 M $ 0.2 M TOTALS $20.8 M $29.0 M Retaining Wall $ 4.9 M ✓ Noise report and summary have been completed and posted to the project website with a preview of the noise levels and the 3D model of the preliminary design. ✓ The survey process was highlighted noting that a decision on noise mitigation would be based on survey results with a simple majority that determines the direction of whether to construct the 3,400 foot long wall.

There was some information presented by CDOT's noise expert about the regulations and requirements for the installations of such sound walls as well as a brief preview of the survey process. Daly closed the discussion by thanking everyone for their input and noting further discussion and decisions would be scheduled for the January 6 agenda. It was mentioned there may be some decisions made by CDOT about the RAMP projects and funding by then as well. The next (#8) agenda item considered was second reading of Ordinance No. 20, Series 2014, an ordinance making budget adjustments to the Town of Vail General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Dispatch Services Fund, Heavy Equipment Fund and Timber Ridge Enterprise Fund. The revisions from first reading on the ordinance were highlighted in the council packet memo as follows: $133,000 in Capital Projects Fund for the Parking System project to compensate for technology infrastructure, networking, additional workstations and cabling that was not anticipated in the original budget provided by the vendor. $27,000 for the fiber-optic cabling of the municipal complex (a total of $81,000 was spent). This project was originally delayed based on potential redevelopment. $6,100 to replace the town's postage machine due to outdated software used with USPS. $75,000 proposed for planning of the permanent skate park at the Atrium location (detail described in memo). Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 20; Kurz seconded the motion. There was no public input on this matter and no further discussion. The motion passed unanimously (7-0). The next (#6) item on the agenda considered was a request for Permission to Proceed through the Development Review Process with a request for a proposed retaining wall replacement and building addition for the Gorsuch Building, 263 E. Gore Creek Drive. George Ruther, Director of Community Development, reviewed the site map. He noted because the property line location is in close proximity to the Gorsuch building, the applicant is requesting the use of Town of Vail property for the identified encroachments, with references made to Attachment A and B, the project plan set and details on the proposed encroachments. More specifically the request was for a proposed replacement of an existing retaining wall and guardrail and the accommodation of eaves for a proposed building addition. There was council support to visit the site at the next meeting in order to fully understand the impacts of the request. Some council comments included: ✓ What is the exact encroachment? ✓ Let PEC/DRB review the information instead of town council; the decision could always be called up by Council after a PEC decision is made. ✓ Would this set a precedent for allowing permanent structures on town property? ✓ It is important to understand placement of the planters and impacts of circulation on the street. ✓ Would this be best handled through entering into a revocable license agreement? The final (#7) item on the agenda for consideration was a continued review of the Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan and the South Frontage Road Traffic Improvements presented by George Ruther. He noted on December 2, 2014, the Town staff and WMC representatives provided an update to the Vail Town Council. This discussion would continue by addressing the three specific topics as follows 1) revised review schedule, 2) west wing expansion traffic and Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 4 parking impacts, and 3) east wing expansion completion assurances. Ruther expressed their request for council input on the following topics: 1. Allow the VVMC master plan to be reviewed concurrently along with the proposed west wing expansion development application. 2. Provides further direction to the applicant and the town staff on the completion assurances proposed within the memorandum. Tom Braun, Braun Associates, Inc., representing VVMC, presented information (per his packet memo) related to the main features of the expansion plans with a preview of the construction phasing for the west and east wing expansions. He mentioned current discussions are ongoing by the property owners who are reviewing the benefits of potential land exchanges and this has added to the timeline of the project. Ruther presented details surrounding the need to concurrently review the master plan with a revised schedule and the conditional use permit for the west wing expansion slated to begin late spring/early summer 2015. He spoke about numerous reasons which supported the concurrent review process and there was council support to this recommended approach with the planning and building review processes. The discussion continued to then address the mitigation of West Wing expansion parking and traffic impacts. Ruther described the completion of the West Wing expansion which would increase parking needs and vehicle traffic generated by the hospital use. There would be an active review to quantify and mitigate these issues by VVMC during the development review process. There were some possible interim solutions described. It was also noted new traffic counts would be provided in January. Daly asked for public input at this time. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, submitted some suggestions about the following: ■ Extend traffic counts to Vail Road & Meadow Drive; continue to move the process along ■ Engage in use of a developer's improvement agreement that would help document the negotiations and assurances of VVMC ■ Consider improving upon a streetscape component for the visitors' rehabilitating ■ Noted the neighborhood is generally favorable to the planning components and details of the project so far. And finally Ruther explored the VVMC East Wing expansion completion assurances that were outlined in the council packet memo noting the redevelopment of the VVMC campus should not interfere with their ability to continue to operate; two sequences of construction for the West Wing expansion and the East Wing expansion were described. And he spoke about several options suggested by VVMC to show their commitment to completion of the entire redevelopment project as follows: 1. Payment of VVMC's pro rata share of the estimated South Frontage Road traffic improvements prior to the issuance of the TCO for the West Wing expansion. 2. Establish a Letter of Credit with the Town of Vail. The LOC should be of a sufficient amount that it serves as both an incentive to commence construction on the East Wing expansion and with penalty forfeited to the Town of Vail for a failure to perform. 3. Place a ticking clock on the pre -paid employee housing mitigation impact fee so that if the East Wing expansion is not started by a date certain; the "credit" for the East Wing expansion is forfeited to the town and shall not be applied to future improvements at VVMC. 4. Require that the development application for the East Wing expansion is submitted to the Town of Vail prior to the issuance of a TCO for the West Wing expansion. 5. Require that VVMC remits an annual payment to the Town of Vail to help defray the town's expenses in providing public parking and public transit. The payment shall be of an amount that covers the town's operating expenses on the number of public parking spaces equal to VVMC's parking space deficit, plus provides an incentive to start work on the East Wing expansion as soon as practical. Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 5 6. The Town of Vail could offer a partial building permit application/plan review fee waiver or refund to VVMC provided construction work on the East Wing expansion is started within a more aggressive time schedule suitable to the Town of Vail. The list was provided only as possible suggestions and eventually once agreed upon would be included in a development improvement agreement that would be reviewed and adopted prior to the issuance of a building permit. Doris Kirchner, VVMC, thanked Town Council for their time and the opportunity to explain the complexities in order to keep the project moving foreword. She addressed the proposed list of assurances and emphasized the need to keep the hospital open and operational. Council input supported a letter of credit from the hospital to support the cost of the West Wing. Number three was also supported by several members of council and a brief discussion occurred regarding the hospital's ability to support employee housing on the site. It was agreed to continue to fine-tune the assurances and the project would continue through the process according to the newly revised schedule dated December 8, 2014, with next town council consideration slated for January 2015. The ninth item on the agenda was adjournment. There being no further business to come before the council, Moffet moved to adjourn the meeting and Kurz seconded the motion which passed unanimously, (7-0) and the meeting adjourned 8:25 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Attest: Andy Daly, Mayor Patty McKenny, Town Clerk Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 16, 2014 1/6/2015 Page 6 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: January 6, 2015 ITEM/TOPIC: Town Manager's Report 1/6/2015 TOWN OF VAIN TOWN OF VAIN VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: January 6, 2015 ITEM/TOPIC: 2015 FIS Alpine World Championships Security Plan Update PRESENTER(S): Dwight Henninger, Police Chief ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: This presentation is an update only and no action is required.

Gorsuch Building, 263 E. Gore Creek Drive,Proposed retaining wall replacement and building addition. PRESENTER(S): Jonathan Spence, Community Development Planner ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Community Development Department requests that the Town Council evaluate the proposal to utilize the Town of Vail property for the purposes of the replacement of an existing retaining wall and guardrail and to accommodate eaves for a proposed building addition. BACKGROUND: Because of the property line location in close proximity to the building, the applicant is requesting the use of Town of Vail property for the identified encroachments. Please refer to the aerial plan included as Attachment A and the project plan set, included as Attachment B for further detail on the proposed encroachments. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Town Council direct staff to sign the development application on behalf of the property owner and permit the project to proceed through the development review process for the proposed replacement of an existing retaining wall and guardrail and to accommodate eaves for a proposed building addition. ATTACHMENTS: Staff Memorandum, Consent of Property Owner, Gorsuch Attachments to Staff Memorandum, Gorsuch 1/6/2015 rowN ofvai�A Memorandum TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 6, 2015 SUBJECT: Property Owner's Consent, Gorsuch Building, 263 E. Gore Creek Drive I. INTRODUCTION The Vail Town Council is involved in many different activities and functions while acting in pursuit of its stated mission. These different functions, at times, require the council members to act within a particular role. When interacting with the Community Development Department, the Town Council generally acts within one of three frameworks. These frameworks are: 1. Legislative; 2. Quasi-judicial; and 3. As a representative of the citizens of Town of Vail in matters concerning Town owned property. These frameworks are affected by the criteria, standards, guidelines and recommendations of our adopted plans and code. As laid out in the Town Charter and Code, the Town Council defers certain decision making to appointed committees, boards or staff, while reserving a call up provision. When representing the town citizens in matters concerning town owned property, the town council acts as stewards of the town's assets. Occasionally, the town council hears requests for both public and private structures and activities occurring within the Town ROW or other Town owned property. Examples of these requests include: • Permission related to development projects on town owned land (Ford Park) • The temporary use of town property for certain activities (Special Events.) • The allowance of encroachments onto town owned property including retaining walls, outdoor dining decks, address markers, walkways, landscaping and certain building improvements. When the Town Council is acting in either the legislative or quasi-judicial frameworks, specific criteria and associated findings are required to be met to support various decisions. For example, when acting within the quasi-judicial framework during the review of a proposed Variance, a finding of special circumstances is necessary. Like -wise, when acting within the legislative framework during the review of an amendment to a Master 1/6/2015 Plan, the Town Council will look to the appropriate criteria (Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, etc.) and the associated findings. When presented with a request for permission to proceed for a project that is proposing improvements on town owned property, there are no specific criteria for its evaluation nor required findings. This is not un -similar to the Town's requirement for joint property owner sign -off. The fundamental question in both cases is: "Do I, as the owner of this property, (or in the case of Town owned property, as a representative of the owner), wish to allow the proposed improvements affecting this property to be constructed if approved through the development review process, and, if so, under what conditions?" Common conditions related to these types of requests include requirements for revocable ROW permits, property leases with the Town of Vail and specific operational obligations. Although the Town Council may call up a development application, the appropriate time for a decision regarding the use of town owned property is prior to the review of the project by the applicable commissions and boards. It should be noted that approval from the property owner or their representative to proceed is in no way an approval for the proposed improvements. The proposed encroachments, if permitted to proceed, will be reviewed thoroughly by town staff, the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board. Specifically concerning the placement of the seating benches, planters and retaining walls, staff is concerned about the possible narrowing of the pedestrian travel route in this location and revisions may be requested prior to public hearings being scheduled. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Gorsuch Ltd., represented by Leila Schwyhart of Semple Brown Design, requests permission to proceed through the Major Exterior Alteration process for a building addition and site improvements utilizing portions of Town of Vail property in the Commercial Core 1 (CC1) Zone District. The building addition proposed includes enclosing the existing outdoor patios and further revisions to the western fagade for a new restaurant tenant. The applicant requests permission to proceed through the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board processes and, if approved, enter into revocable permit and lease agreements with the Town of Vail. The proposed encroachments are as follows: Proposed re -facing and reconfiguration of existing retaining walls and the replacement of the guardrail. The retaining wall on the south side of the existing stairs along the western elevation is proposed to be rebuilt in its current location. The retaining wall north of the existing stairs is proposed to be rebuilt slightly back from its current location. 2. The placement of additional seating benches and planters along the north retaining walls. For reference purposes, the planters are proposed at an encroachment equal to the existing wall. The seating benches would 1/6/2015 encroach an additional 18" from the face of the existing retaining wall. 3. Roof overhangs of the proposed addition encroach over the Town of Vail ROW up to four (4) feet with the majority of the proposed encroachments being less than two (2) feet. These encroachments include the roof eaves of the new dining areas and also the existing center element whose enclosure is a component of this application. The total area of the encroachment is approximately 65 square feet. Because of the property line location in close proximity to the building, the applicant is requesting the use of Town of Vail property for the identified encroachments. Please refer to the aerial plan included as Attachment A and the project plans included as Attachment B. The project is anticipated to be seen by the Planning and Environmental Commission on January 12, 2015 for a worksession with a final public hearing planned for early 2015. Certain elements of the request are adaptable depending on the feedback received from the Town Council. Possible adaptations include removal of the planters and seating from the proposal and/or maintaining the existing retaining walls in their current construction and location. As a restaurant use is anticipated to generate considerable recyclables, staff will be requesting, as part of the Conditional Use Permit, a plan for compliance with the recently adopted recycling ordinance. Staff recommends compliance with the ordinance, without exemption, as a condition for the utilization of Town of Vail property for private building and site improvements. III. BACKGROUND The Gorsuch building was originally constructed in 1966 and has undergone periodic remodels since that time. The outdoor dining patios and related retaining walls and guardrail have been in place since at least the mid 1970's. IV. ACTION REQUESTED The Community Development Department requests that the Town Council evaluate the proposal to utilize Town of Vail property for the purposes of a replacement of the existing retaining wall, the installation of pedestrian furniture and the construction of building eaves. This utilization of Town of Vail property would be subject to the terms of a lease agreement The Community Development Department requests that the Vail Town Council instructs Town Staff to either: 1. Sign the development application on behalf of the property owner and allow the project to proceed through the development review process for the proposed retaining wall replacement, pedestrian furniture and building addition. Or 2. Sign the development application on behalf of the property owner and allow the 1/6/2015 project to proceed through the development review process for the proposal as modified to only include only the following elements/encroachments Or 2. Deny the request to proceed and require the applicant to amend the plans prior to review by the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board to exclude any portions of the Town of Vail ROW. Which option does the Town Council wish to choose in regard to the applicant's request to proceed through the development review process for the proposed improvements to the Gorsuch building located at 263 E. Gore Creek Drive? V. ATTACHMENTS A. Aerial of subject property. B. Project Plan Set C.

This proposal is a 543 SF addition to the West Facade of 263 E Gore Greek. The 46 year old Ore House restaurant closed its doors in June of 2014. The owner's of the building would like to continue to service the community with a fine dining restaurant, although in order to accommodate the needs of a fine dining restaurant flexible indoor out door seating in the location of the current exterior patios must be added to accommodate dining seating and an accessible main entry. The proposed use is to remain as an A-2 restaurant as previously occupied. The intended impact of the project is to enliven the pedestrian edge of Bridge Street by bringing light and activity from the restaurant space towards the public. The design has incorporated public and private layers from common benches to the restaurant's patron eat rail. The bifolding doors open the restaurant to the exterior and activates the street scape. The proposed addition roof heights are in line with the existing building and do not impact the passage of light on to the adjacent streets. The addition adds a scaled down layer to the building, again bringing the building down to the pedestrian's scale. The finished product of this addition is intended to be compatible with the existing building's architecture and material palette. 1/6/2015 f J I A6 DRAWING INDEX - PEC/DRB SUBMITTAL SHEET NO.

BACKGROUND: The 1-70 Vail Underpass is a proposed new multi -modal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under I- 70. CDOT, the Town of Vail, and the selected design consultant, Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), have completed the preliminary design process based on the endorsed preferred location of the underpass. Also, as a result of the project's noise abatement report, a noise wall has been determined to be reasonable and feasible if supported by the majority of the Benefiting Receptors. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council provide direction on the optional funding for acrylic for the potential noise wall. ATTACHMENTS: Memo Presentation Surnmary of Open House Comments 1/6/2015 WIWI Memorandum To: From: Date: Subject Town Council Public Works Department 1-6-15 1-70 Vail Underpass Noise Wall Optional Funding and Project Update SUMMARY The 1-70 Vail Underpass is a proposed new multimodal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under 1-70. This underpass has been identified in the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP) and the CDOT 1-70 Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PETS) as a critical link between the North and South Frontage Roads. The Town and CDOT have entered into a Letter of Commitment and an Inter -Governmental Agreement (IGA) to jointly fund the design and construction of this project with an expected completion date of December of 2017. CDOT, the Town of Vail, and the selected design consultant, Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), have completed the preliminary design process based on the endorsed preferred location of the underpass. Also, as a result of the project's noise abatement report, a noise wall has been determined to be reasonable and feasible if supported by the majority of the Benefiting Receptors. A survey of the Benefiting Receptors will be mailed out this month in order to determine if a noise wall will be part of this project. For reference, each of the past Town Council presentations and Council meeting video links along with additional project information is available at the project website at www.vailgov.com/underpass The project team is requesting direction with regards to the following; • Will the Town Council provide the additional estimated $0.8 million for an acrylic noise wall, IF the noise wall is supported by the benefiting receptors? • Based on the updated information provided by CDOT's proposed next steps and key decision points with regards to funding, how should this project proceed? BACKGROUND The proposed 1-70 Vail underpass is a grade separated crossing of the Interstate located approximately halfway between the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges near the Simba Run Condominiums. This project will add connectivity between the north and south side of the Interstate and relieve the interchanges at Main and West Vail of repetitive through traffic by providing a direct connection between the core resort village areas and the West Vail commercial area. 1/6/2015 Since the early 1980's the idea of an additional 1-70 underpass to enhance community connectivity and enhance traffic flow between Main Vail and West Vail has been discussed. However, it was not until 1993 that the idea went through a public process as a part of the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP). As a direct result of the VTMP the underpass was nicknamed the Simba Run Underpass due to its namesake location, the Simba Run Condominiums. From that point forward it became a common theme in numerous Vail Master Plans, including the Vail Lionshead Master Plan (1999), the Vail 20/20 Vision Plan (2007), and the Vail Transportation Master Plan Update (2009), as well as being listed in the Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT) long range Statewide Improvement Plans since 1996 and a part of the CDOT 1-70 PEIS ROD. More recently this project began as a Planning and Environmental Linkage study in the summer of 2013 with a vision of moving into design and construction once funding was obtained. In early 2013 CDOT released a funding opportunity known as RAMP, Responsible Accelerated Maintenance and Partnership projects. The TOV submitted a CDOT RAMP application and received $14.6 M for the Simba Run Underpass. In a joint effort, the TOV and CDOT selected the consultant team of Felsburg Holt and Ullevig (FHU) and its sub consultants to provide the design for the project. Project Purpose and Need The purpose of the project is to improve multi -modal connectivity between the north and south sides of 1-70 within the Town of Vail. The project will provide congestion relief at the 1-70 Main Vail and West Vail interchanges. These improvements are needed to address the following current and future transportation deficiencies: Multi -Modal Connectivity • Transit Operations Vail has a well developed bus transit system and high transit usage, both among visitors and residents. This is complemented by regional bus and shuttle services which serve the community. The bus and shuttle systems are dependent on the interchanges for access to Vail and for crossing between the north and south sides of 1-70. Congestion at the interchanges causes delays for bus and shuttle service, just as it does for private vehicles. Routing options for buses and shuttles are also limited because the interchanges provide the only cross connections in this stretch of 1-70. • Pedestrian, Vehicle and Bicycle Connectivity Pedestrians, vehicles, and bicyclists regularly cross 1-70 to access services, employment and recreational opportunities which are located on both the north and south sides of 1-70. Within this stretch, multi -modal crossings of 1-70 are only available at the interchanges. A pedestrian only crossing is available at a pedestrian bridge just west of the Main Vail interchange. Pedestrians have also been observed to cross 1-70 directly at grade at a well worn pedestrian trail at the Timber Ridge Housing complex, just west of the Simba Run Condominiums. Pedestrian crossing of 1-70 is prohibited; Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 2 however, pedestrians continue to cross likely due to the much shorter distance required. Such crossings are very unsafe, and a number of vehicle -pedestrian accidents including fatalities have occurred. At the interchanges, pedestrians and bicyclists must cross the on and off ramps conflicting with the vehicles which is hazardous especially during congested times. Congestion / Operational Performance • Interchange Congestion / Operation The Main Vail and West Vail interchanges are the primary access points to/from the Town of Vail from 1-70 and are also the only locations for vehicles to cross 1-70 for several miles. Current recurring and increasing congestion at these interchanges has resulted in severe and worsening delays. This situation is particularly acute during peak winter visitor days, when high travel demand often coincides with snowy and icy road conditions. Both the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges are projected to experience severe congestion (Level of Service F) with increasing frequency at peak travel times. The resulting delays at the interchanges negatively impact the movement of people and goods to/from the Town of Vail and between parts of the Town on the north and south sides of 1-70. During times of severe congestion, exiting traffic at Main Vail and West Vail sometimes backs up onto 1-70, at times forming a long queue of vehicles in the right lane of 1-70 waiting to exit. This situation presents operational and safety problems for 1-70, as through traffic traveling along 1-70 at freeway speed can encounter vehicles stopped in the through traffic lane waiting to exit. • Emergency Access and Response Emergency access and emergency response is needed on both sides of 1-70. As with other vehicles, emergency vehicles must travel through the Main Vail or West Vail interchange to cross between the north and south sides of Vail. Access to and from 1-70 is also often needed for emergency vehicles. Even with emergency light and sirens activated, severe congestion at the interchanges can greatly slow response times for these critical emergency vehicles. III. PROJECT UPDATE Since the December 16th Council meeting the design team has been moving forward with the design of the project, with an anticipated 90% final design completion date of April of 2015. More specifically the following items have progressed: • A public open house was held on December 18th. It was well attended with —30 public participants. We received 20 returned comment sheets; a summary of responses is attached. • The noise wall preference survey is ready to be sent out to the Benefiting Receptors. (See 12-16-14 Council Memo for additional information) • The 3D model of the preliminary design has been completed and will be posted to the project website shortly. Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 3 • Construction phasing options have been developed and initial public comment received. • The Structural Selection report has been completed and is under review. • Utility meetings continue to progress regarding the relocation of existing utilities. • Utility relocation layouts and evaluation have begun. • A tree inventory and arborist report for impacted trees is under review. • Environmental Assessment o The probable Class of Action letter has been signed by CDOT and FHWA for concurrence to submit a Categorical Exclusion for this project. o Final Wetland determination is in progress and will be finalized once final disturbance limits are defined o Historical, Archeological, & Paleontology has been cleared o Right of Way and Property impacts are in progress, ROW acquisition process is on hold until final limits of disturbances are determined and project funding status is confirmed IV. PROJECT COSTS & FUNDING Project Costs The conceptual cost estimate for this project was initially developed as a part of the Vail Transportation Master Plan at a Master Plan level. This estimate was updated for the CDOT RAMP application in the spring of 2013, resulting in a total estimated project cost of $20.8 million. A more detailed Opinion of Probable Cost of Construction (OPCC) has been recently completed by Edward Kraemer & Sons (EKS) based on the completed preliminary design (30%) level plans. EKS is the general contractor recently selected to provide pre -construction services and be a part of the project team. The current OPCC is $29 million, not including noise walls; $8.2 million over the initial RAMP estimate. The $8.2 million increased budget is largely due to the current construction market pricing. Highway construction pricing is up over 25% within the past year. In addition, the potential noise wall will also increase the project cost. If supported by the majority of the Benefiting Receptors, a concrete post and panel noise wall will add $4.9 M to the project, and if enhanced to an acrylic noise wall it will add $5.7 M to the project cost. Project Costs Total Cost Cost Split Net Additional Cost Town of Vail CDOT Town of Vail CDOT Base Project 2013 $ 20.8 $ 6.0 $ 14.8 $ - $ - Base Project 2015 $ 29.0 $ 8.4 $ 20.6 $ 2.4 $ 5.8 Project w/ Concrete Noise Wall $ 33.9 $ 9.8 $ 24.1 $ 3.8 $ 9.3 Project w/ Acrylic Noise Wall I $ 34.7 1 $ 10.6 1 $ 24.1 1 $ 4.6 $ 9.3 Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 4 Project Funding The Colorado Department of Transportation and the Transportation Commission has recently provided guidance with regards to RAMP project cost increases. The Commission has suggested allocating $40 M of additional funds for RAMP projects. This additional funding will allow specific RAMP projects to request additional funding. In order to receive additional funding a project must proceed through the following process as outlined by the following CDOT correspondence from December 22nd: " RAMP Prosect Budget Controls The last two emails have discussed the concerns that the RAMP projects were exceeding the budgets. As you may recall, both the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee (STAG) and the Transportation Commission had discussed these concerns during their November meetings. Budget Controls. CDOT has developed a plan that should help address these concerns. The STAC accepted the need for the proposed actions and the Transportation Commission felt that the actions were appropriate. The following is a summary of the CDOT steps that are being implemented. • All RAMP Partnership and Operations projects in excess of $15 million will require an independent cost estimate at Final Office Review (FOR)." Final Office Review (FOR) takes place when the project construction plans are at a 90% level of completion, anticipated to be completed for the 1-70 Vail Underpass project this spring. A critical component of the plan set is whether a noise wall and what type of noise wall will be a part of the project. The 1-70 Vail Underpass project, by selecting a CMGC process, is required to use an independent cost estimator. The independent cost estimator (ICE) is currently under contract and has performed one cost estimate to date for CDOT staff. CDOT correspondence continued from above... • All RAMP Partnership and Operations projects less than $15 million but with CDOT estimates greater than 7.5% or $1 million above the approved budget will require an independent cost estimate. • Independent cost estimates performed more than 45 days before advertisement will be adjusted based on economic analysis and forecasts. • All projects will be evaluated for scalability and scalable portions of projects may be included as alternate bid schedules. o The Regions must provide the Chief Engineer an explanation of all options that were explored to adjust the scope of the project or why the scope is not scalable." Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 5 The project team made up of Town of Vail staff, design consultants and CDOT staff are preparing the necessary documents with regard to this request and will be prepared to share with the Town Council during the Town's formal funding request anticipated in spring of 2015. CDOT correspondence continued from above... • CDOT will explore options for additional local contributions for all projects with estimates greater than the approved budgets." o If additional local contributions are not feasible, the Regions will document why additional local participation is not a possibility. The 1-70 Vail Underpass project cost updates to the Vail Town Council have included maintaining the current cost split of 29% local contributions. CDOT correspondence continued from above... • All projects needing CDOT funds in excess of one percent of the original budget will require Transportation Commission action BEFORE advertisement. o Possible Transportation Commission actions include approving the additional funding, project swaps to cover shortfall, deferring advertisement, or killing the project. Reserve for Funding Increases. The Transportation Commission recognized that while scope reductions and additional local participation are essential elements in the solution, some additional CDOT funding will also be necessary. The reserve increase for this additional funding is about fifty percent of the amount that might be estimated if the Public -Public Partnership projects that have not been let had the 20 percent cost increase that we have been experiencing. Implementation Guidance. Josh Laipply, Chief Engineer, is in the process of issuing a memorandum that will provide guidance on the implementation of these additional steps. It is anticipated that the memorandum will be issued in the first part of January. Richard Zamora, Director of the Office of Program Management, will provide a monthly report to the Transportation Commission on the status of the RAMP Partnership projects that have not been let to demonstrate that the actions are being applied consistently to all of the projects." The Town of Vail's funding portion for this project is currently funded through the Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA) which is funded by the Lionshead Tax Increment Financing (TIF) dollars. Currently the Town has budgeted —$6 M for this project. An additional $2.4 M will need to be budgeted in 2016/2017 in order for the base project to be constructed; or an additional $3.8 M to $4.6 M in 2016/17 if noise walls are supported. Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 6 This additional Town funding can be temporarily funded through the Town of Vail's Capital Improvement Project's budget, until such time that the VRA has the available funding to reimburse the Town of Vail. The town staff is preparing an overall TIF update for the January 20, 2015 Town Council meeting. V. NOISE WALL SURVEY PROCESS In order to determine whether or not the project will include a noise wall, adding $4.9 M to $5.7 M in cost to the project, the state and federal guidelines require a preference survey be submitted by the Benefiting Receptors. If more than 50% of responding Benefiting Receptors are in support of the noise wall, then the noise wall will become part of the project. If the noise wall is not supported by the responding Benefiting Receptors, then the project will move forward without the noise wall. The noise wall survey process is outlined as follows: • Property owners and residents/businesses (if applicable) of locations that will receive at least a 5 dBA noise reduction from the proposed noise wall will be eligible to participate in the preference survey (see table below) • Each location will be allocated 2 votes/points; 1 for a resident /business tenant (if applicable); the remainder (1 or 2) will go to the owner • A simple majority of the responding preference survey votes will determine whether or not the proposed noise barrier is supported and thereby included in the project • Ballots and explanatory survey packages will be mailed to participants with 3 weeks allocated to return ballots. Currently it is anticipated the survey will be sent out on January 9, 2015 with a return date of January 30, 2015. • Participating receptors will be allowed to return their survey ballots by mail or by e-mail • Representative simulation of the noise wall will be included • Final decision on support for the proposed wall is expected in February 2015 Condo Complex Benefitting Receptors Total Votes Percent of Total Breakaway West 29 58 14.3 Savoy Villas 22 44 10.8 Simba Run 52 104 25.6 Snow Fox 10 20 4.9 Telemark Townhouse 10 20 4.9 Timber Ridge 68 136 33.5 Town of Vail Bike Path 1 2 0.5 Vail Run 11 22 5.4 TOTAL 203 406 Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 7 VI. PROJECT DECISIONS Noise Wall Decision The 1-70 Vail Underpass project has been an important project to both the Town of Vail and CDOT over the past 25 years. The project has been part of multiple Vail and CDOT planning documents, highlighting the projects importance for Vail's connectivity and congestion relief at Vail's interchanges. The commitment to this project has been most recently shown with the joint partnership between the Town of Vail and CDOT for this project, having a funding split of 29% and 71 %, respectively. At this time the project has completed preliminary design and will be requesting a vote of the Benefiting Receptors as to whether they are "For" or "Against" including a noise wall within this project. Critical to this question is whether or not the Town of Vail will fund the additional cost of an acrylic noise wall. With this in mind the major funding question that needs to be considered at this time is; If the majority of the responding Benefiting Receptors are in support of a noise wall, is the Town Council in support of providing additional funding for the Construction and Maintenance of an acrylic noise wall? o Capital cost estimate: $0.8 million o Cleaning of acrylic panels: $15,000 to $20,000 per occurrence o Maintenance repair: $15,000 per year Weighing into this decision it is also important to understand the full project budget. Staff is not looking for a final commitment at this time for overall project funding. This commitment will be brought back to the Council as part of the formal Colorado Transportation Commission funding request process, as discussed above. However, Staff will need a commitment from Council on whether or not Council is willing to fund the incremental cost for an acrylic noise wall. This is critical for the Benefiting Receptors to understand whether or not an acrylic noise wall is being proposed as the suggested mitigation. Since this potential betterment to an acrylic wall is optional, the Town may choose not to fund the acrylic wall. If this is the case, then the survey ballot will specifically state that the noise wall will be a concrete post and panel colored and textured wall. If the Town chooses to fund an acrylic noise wall, then the survey will state that the Town has committed to provide additional funds to preserve an acrylic noise wall as an option. Overall Project Funding Decision The current Opinion of Probable Construction Cost for this project is $8.2 M over the original conceptual costs estimate, and up to $13.9 M over if an acrylic noise wall is included. However, this project is currently in the design phase and will not need the additional construction funding until 2016. The Colorado Transportation Commission has outlined a process with regards to requesting additional funding, which requires the project to be at 90% design prior to any request. Therefore, it would be premature to Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 8 stop the current design process and miss the opportunity to request additional funding. Staying the course is prudent for the following reasons: • The project, in order to proceed to the Transportation Commission, will require the results of the Benefiting Receptors Survey, the Final Office Review (FOR) plans, and an updated Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) along with an Independent Cost Estimate (ICE). • The required FOR (90% design) plans will not be completed until this spring, when the noise wall survey is completed and further design progress is made. • The Transportation Commission's required updated OPCC and ICE cannot be completed until the FOR plan set is complete. • The design team and CMGC are committed during the design progress to exploring ways to decrease the overall project costs. • The project's required design and review process set by the FHWA and CDOT requires significant time and resources to complete. Abandoning the project now, mid stream, would require any future project attempt to start from scratch. Continuing on and following through with the necessary design and environmental clearances will take this project to a status level that is at least ready for construction, "shovel" ready, which would then take advantage of the time and resources that have been spent over the past year in research, design, development, review, and public involvement and outreach. Other factors to consider at this time are: o the Town of Vail is committed to the importance of this project as recognized over the past 25 years of Master Plan inclusion o the Town of Vail does not want to miss the opportunity to have CDOT as a majority funding partner o the Town of Vail recognizes that CDOT, as our major project partner, has already committed $14.8 M to this project at this time; this partnering funding may be a one time opportunity o the Town of Vail recognizes that the Colorado Transportation Commission has provided supporting guidance that will provide additional funding to RAMP projects and may support maintaining the existing partnership split on this project of 71%/29%, ultimately providing up to $24.1 M of CDOT match dollars for this project o the Town of Vail has requested that CDOT be a partner on this project for the past 25 years; pulling out of the current partnership may jeopardize any future requests for CDOT project partnerships o the Town of Vail and CDOT per the approved intergovernmental agreement are under contract and will incur design costs of approximately $550,000 over the next 3-4 months in order to complete the Final Office Review (90%) design plans required to proceed through the Transportation Commission project funding request process. The Town's portion is approximately $160,000. Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 9 VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council act on the acrylic wall option by either funding or not funding the incremental $0.8 M capital costs for an acrylic noise wall, and the necessary yearly maintenance costs, if the noise wall is supported by the Benefiting Receptors. Staff also recommends that Council support's the continued design of the project, with or without noise walls, and makes a decision with regards to the construction funding of the project when necessary; thus continuing through the design process and completing final design prior to making any commitment on total project funding. It is anticipated that staff will present the 90% updated design and project costs to the Council in spring of 2015 for consideration. VIII. NEXT STEPS The design team will continue to move forward with the project design and the environmental analysis, including but not limited to: • Further refining the preliminary design to a Final Office Review (90% design level) plan set required before requesting Transportation Commission funding. The project team will work on finding the `best fit' design with emphasis on reducing encroachment and impacts on private property, Gore Creek, and mitigating visual impacts. • Completing the structural selection for bridges and retaining walls. Taking into account structural needs, impacts, aesthetics, and wall heights. • Evaluating project mitigation measures for adjacent properties and other sensitive areas such as wetlands and Gore Creek in close proximity to the proposed project related to environmental impacts, including Visibility, Noise, Aesthetics, Landscaping, Lighting, Air and Water Quality. • Send out the noise wall preference survey by on January 9th. • Formally request additional funding from the Town Council and the Colorado Transportation Commission this spring per the process out lined by CDOT. It is important to note that this design process is iterative, dynamic, and will continue to evolve as each design element and component is analyzed. The design team will analyze each design element in accordance with best engineering practices and required design standards to develop a final project that meets the projects goals and that will be safe and operational for years to come. As we continue through the process the design team will continue to update and receive input from the Town Council and the Community on the projects progress and any notable changes. IX. PROJECT PROGRESS SCHEDULE It is critical to the success of this project and its completion by the end of 2017 that we stay on schedule. This project is complex and has numerous entities and stakeholders that need to complete a thorough review. The remaining 14 months of design and Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 10 property acquisition may seem like a substantial amount of time now; however, it is a highly compressed timeframe. As we continue through this collaborative process the following is a list of key design milestones and more formal public input opportunities anticipated to occur during the design process. As this process is dynamic, these dates may fluctuate as the project develops: January 2015 Town Council (Finalize Noise Wall Survey) February 2015 Town Council (Design Update, Noise Survey Results) March 2015 Town Council (Design Update) April 2015 Town Council (Final Design Complete & Funding Requests) June/July 2015 Open House (Final Design) April 2015 -Jan. 2016 Right of Way plans and property acquisition process January 2016 Final Environmental Clearance (FHWA) March -April 2016 Construction Documents, Bid & Award, Open House April 2016 -Dec. 2017 Construction As the project progresses public input can be provided continuously through the project website at www.vailgov.com/underpass and through specific stakeholder meetings and correspondence.

Do you support the installation of a noise wall by this project? a. Yes 10 b. No 7 2. If a noise wall is built as part of the project, a. Post and concrete panel wall 11 b. Post and acrylic panel wall 4 which type of noise wall material do you prefer? Please provide any explanation or additional comments on noise walls: • 1 support an acrylic panel — the more view the better. The acrylic wall "feels" less closed in — very open feeling. • Ugly • Only if needed — small as possible. Concrete will last longer. Acrylic becomes clouded over time. • I am against the installation of a noise wall because I want to retain the nature and the beauty of the town of Vail. My condo is very close to the 1-70 and I don't hear the noise. • 1 feel the main benefit the noise wall will offer is quieting the freeway noise! I am all for it. • I'd predict that the acrylic wall would quickly look terrible. Plus the property owners probably would not want to see the traffic. • Principal objection to acrylic is the on-going maintenance cost. • Unclear how noise would increase since existing traffic on 1-70 would not be impacted and it seems likely that same amount of traffic would use frontage roads whether there's an underpass or not. It actually seems like less traffic if some gets diverted through underpass instead of staying on frontage road the full length of main or west Vail. • It appears that impacted residents don't want a wall — so why build it. — They are the ones affected by the noise. • Unsure about barrier wall. What about migrating animal, such as the moose, deer, elk? Also acrylic — how will lights from cars on highway work with this? Cost of the walls, the entire project. Is it needed if Ever Vail not going forward? • After speaking with several persons at the open house, I feel there has been no consideration of the barrier and its impact on animal migration. • On whatever budget permits, if it's all coming down to dollars. The Project Team is considering three options for construction phasing, as described on the Open House boards. Please indicate which one of these phasing options you prefer. Option 1 — Construct the project without lane closures: 2 Option 2 — Construct the project with some single lane and/or one-way closures: 14 Option 3 - Construct the project with 1-70 lane and/or frontage road closures: 2 (One of these also checked #2) 1/6/2015 Please provide any explanation or additional comments on the options: • Shorter construction time better. Please provide. • Of course Option 1 is the most attractive to the community but seeing how the cost is a major factor. I recommend getting it done any way you can! If #2 works fine but I'll live with #3 if that's the only way. • Wildlife crossing?? Times of migration??? • Option 2 as long as lane closures are done sensibly with attention paid to times of day, season, etc. Not like when they're repaving, which is always a mess. • I am not in favor of this project! Do we really need the underpass? If Ever Vail not being built, why the need for this? It's a lot of money!! • On whatever funds $ allow. Please provide suggestions on how best to provide timely information to the public during construction: • Information could be provided by emails, in the Vail Daily and on the "talking signs" on the interstate. • Vail Daily, TV8 and signage. • Vail Daily paper. • Lighted signs along the frontage road/freeway. Vail Daily, radio, TV. • Emails. • Website is very effective and has served well to date. Ail daily articles are good for alerts and notices and to reference website info. • Vail Daily, TOV website. • Inform us by email. • Simba97@aol.com • On website, public meetings. Please provide any additional comments on this project: • The project should be stopped in order to keep the eco -system of the town of Vail. • Hurry! The plans are now solid; consensus is reached so "go"!! • Thanks for the time and effort in planning, researching, and informing! • 1 really only want the roundabout if Vail Resorts goes ahead with the Ever Vail Project. I currently live in Sandstone 70 Westview building. I am trying to purchase a Savoy Villas unit — to me the roundabout only helps our properties if we can someday walk to the chairlift/gondola at Ever Vail. • This needs to be done! Everyone benefits. • Please pay attention to landscaping, including trees. (They play a role as important as the noise wall) • If you hadn't spent 20 years doing study after study it would be done by now — Build it already! 5 years from now it will be $10 million more. • Myself and others are improving our homes in part based on improvements and upgrades to Vail. Vail has always been on the cutting edge of development and we are spending our money and we hope Vail does as they have historically. Progress and growth are best for all the people that live in and love Vail. 1/6/2015 Page 2 Towx of vn' 1[1 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: January 6, 2015 ITEM/TOPIC: 1-70 Vail Underpass Noise Wall Town Council Voting Process PRESENTER(S): Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Town of Vail, as land owner of the new Lions Ridge Apartments (Timber Ridge), is the majority Benefiting Receptor of the potential noise wall and will have 34% of all survey votes. Staff is requesting direction with regards to the following; Will the Town of Vail participate in the Benefiting Receptor preference survey? If the Town participates, when and how will the Town of Vail make its decision? BACKGROUND: The 1-70 Vail Underpass is a proposed new multi -modal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under I- 70. CDOT, the Town of Vail, and the selected design consultant, Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), have completed the preliminary design process based on the endorsed preferred location of the underpass. Also, as a result of the project's noise abatement report, a noise wall has been determined to be reasonable and feasible if supported by the majority of the Benefiting Receptors. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council determine the voting strategy and process at this meeting, then take additional public input from January 6-20, and finally vote at the January 20th Council meeting and instruct the Town Manager to complete the survey ballots as directed. ATTACHMENTS: Memo Presentation 1/6/2015 I(IM VAIL � Memorandum To: From: Date: Subject Town Council Public Works Department 1-6-15 1-70 Vail Underpass Noise Wall Town Council Voting Process SUMMARY The 1-70 Vail Underpass is a proposed new multimodal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under 1-70. This underpass has been identified in the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP) and the CDOT 1-70 Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PETS) as a critical link between the North and South Frontage Roads. The Town and CDOT have entered into a Letter of Commitment and an Inter -Governmental Agreement (IGA) to jointly fund the design and construction of this project with an expected completion date of December of 2017. CDOT, the Town of Vail, and the selected design consultant, Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), have completed the preliminary design process based on the endorsed preferred location of the underpass. Also, as a result of the project's noise abatement report, a noise wall has been determined to be reasonable and feasible if supported by the majority of the Benefiting Receptors. A survey of the Benefiting Receptors will be mailed out this month in order to determine if a noise wall will be part of this project. For reference, each of the past Town Council presentations and Council meeting video links along with additional project information is available at the project website at www.vailgov.com/underpass The Town of Vail, as land owner of the new Lions Ridge Apartments (Timber Ridge), is the majority Benefiting Receptor of the potential noise wall and will have 34% of all survey votes. The project team is requesting direction with regards to the following as requested by the other benefiting receptors; • Will the Town of Vail participate in the Benefiting Receptor preference survey? • If the Town participates, when and how will the Town of Vail make its decision? NOISE WALL VOTING PROCESS In order to determine whether or not the project will include a noise wall, adding $4.9 M to $5.7 M in cost to the project, the state and federal guidelines require a preference survey be submitted by the Benefiting Receptors. If more than 50% of responding Benefiting Receptors are in support of the noise wall, then the noise wall will become 1/6/2015 part of the project. If the noise wall is not supported by the responding Benefiting Receptors, then the project will move forward without the noise wall. The Town of Vail is the owner of the land that is currently being developed as the Lions Ridge Apartments, formerly known as Timber Ridge (east half), as well as the owner of the recreational trail that runs along the North Frontage Road. CDOT and the FHWA have determined, based on current project status of the Lions Ridge Apartments (early construction phase) and its lease documents, the Town of Vail is the appropriate party responsible for the Lions Ridge Apartment's benefiting receptors. Specifically as owner of these two facilities the Town will have 138 votes, or 34% of total vote (See table below). Condo Complex Benefiting Receptors Total Votes Percent of Total Breakaway West 29 58 14.3 Savoy Villas 22 44 10.8 Simba Run 52 104 25.6 Snow Fox 10 20 4.9 Telemark Townhouse 10 20 4.9 Timber Ridge 68 136 33.5 Town of Vail Bike Path 1 2 0.5 Vail Run 11 22 5.4 TOTAL 203 406 The intent of these 138 Town of Vail votes is to represent the interests of the owner/occupants/users of these two facilities. In this case there are no current occupants of the Lions Ridge Apartments, so all of the votes default to the Town as owner of the land. The first question to answer is should the Town of Vail participate in the benefiting receptor survey? There are a variety of reasons the town would want to participate in the survey, the Town is in a unique position where: The Town is the owner of the two aforementioned facilities and therefore the Town Council may vote representing the future tenants/users of these facilities. The Town Council represents the entire community and the voting for these two facilities may be influenced by a community wide preference as it relates to the overall issue of 1-70 noise and the extent to which a noise wall impacts the community character. The Town Council also represents the remaining Benefiting Receptors from a community standpoint, and the Council's voting may be influenced by these Benefiting Receptors and conversely the Council's vote may influence the vote of the Benefiting Receptors. Town of Vail 1/6/2015 Page 2 • The Town Council is responsible for the fiscal health of the community and the additional costs of the noise walls may influence the Town Council's vote. The discussion and decision on the town participation may be based on the above points and public input and it is requested by the benefiting receptors to understand the answer to the participation question prior to the survey being distributed. During previous discussions regarding the town's decision-making role, the Town Council has made it a priority to provide an open and transparent process for the votes allocated to Town Council. In order to allow additional public input and proper timelines for upcoming decisions, the Town Council should decide the role it will take as it relates to the benefiting receptor survey at the January 20th Regular Evening Town Council Meeting. Some of the options the Council may have with regards to the Council's voting process include; • The Town Council may choose not to vote; allowing the remaining Benefiting Receptors to decide the outcome of the noise wall. • The Town Council may choose to vote on behalf of the Lions Ridge Apartment future tenants and the recreational path users. • The Town Council may choose to vote based on a community wide preference. • The Town Council may choose to vote based on the recent Council goal of pursuing a noise wall demonstration project; using this opportunity as a demonstration project. • The Town Council may choose to vote based on a fiscal responsibility to the Town; where a vote against the noise wall could greatly influence the ability to minimize the costs of the total project; and where a vote for the noise wall could greatly influence the decision to include the noise wall which will increase the project costs by an additional $5 to $6 million or —20%, thus potentially increasing the project costs to a point that may not be fundable at this time. • The Town Council may also choose to vote on both facility receptors, Lions Ridge Apartments and the bike path, together as one or vote separately on each. Town Council may choose to vote in a manner of any one of the options listed above or a combination thereof. However, as representatives of Vail, the Town Council will need to make the Council voting strategy and process known and transparent to the public. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Town Council determine the voting strategy and process at this meeting, then take additional public input from January 6-20, and finally vote at the January 20th Council meeting and instruct the Town Manager to complete the survey ballots as directed.

PRESENTER(S): Kathleen Halloran, Finance Director and Matt Mire, Town Attorney ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, amend or deny first reading of Ordinance No. 1, Series 2015. BACKGROUND: The Town Code currently requires bed and breakfast and short-term rental establishments to pay different business license fees that are calculated based upon the location of the business's management office. Certain bed and breakfast and short-term rental establishments are currently exempt from the Town's business license fees because such businesses maintain a management office outside the Town. The Town Council desires to amend the Town Code to require the payment of business license fees for all bed and breakfast and short-term rental establishments, regardless of where a business's management office is located. The Town Council further desires that effective July 1, 2015, all persons engaged in advertising of apartment hotel, lodging house, guesthouse, and guest ranch lodging services include a Town of Vail sales tax account number in all such advertisements (see attached memo). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, amend or deny first reading of Ordinance No, 1 Series 2015 ATTACHMENTS: ' # • 4 1/6/2015 TOWN Of VA 10 Memorandum TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT Vail Town Council Finance Department January 6, 2015 Business Licenses for Rental by Owner BACKGROUND During the December 2nd work session, Council reviewed staff's research and draft ordinance on a proposed business license requirement for "RBO's", or Rental by Owner properties with the objective of improving compliance with the town's sales tax code and requiring this type of activity to contribute to the cost of marketing and special events the same way all Vail businesses do. Raising a concern that adding more regulation may deter sales tax code compliance, staff proposed an alternative solution aiming to encourage compliance by RBOs: Posting the sales tax account number on all advertising (paper or online). Council directed staff to bring back a revised ordinance to include the posting of sales tax account numbers on all lodging advertisements (see attached draft ordinance). Council also directed staff to outline fee structure options to adjust the existing business license fee requirements to include management companies or other businesses that rent properties in Vail but do not have an office in Vail (currently exempted from paying a business license fee). Staff recommends creating a "Zone 3" category for these businesses. Currently, Zone 1 encompasses everything from the Cascade Village to Manor Vail on the south side of 1-70. Zone 2 is everything else (West Vail, Sandstone, East Vail, etc.). Regarding the base business license fee and per unit fee, Zone 1 and 2 pay different rates. This is based on a 25% reduction for Zone 2 businesses. Below is a chart of the current rate structure for hotels and management companies: Zone 1 Zone 2 Base fee $325.00 $243.75 25% less Per unit fee $17.00 $12.75 25% less 1/6/2015 Staff recommends council consider the following three options to establish a flat base rate for Zone 3: Zone 3 A B C Same as Same as 25% less Zone 1 Zone 2 than Zone 2 Base fee $325.00 $243.75 $182.81 The per-unit rate will follow Zone 1 and 2, depending on the location(s) of the units being rented. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL Please provide feedback on the draft ordinance and on the rate structure for a new "Zone 3" category of business license.
